The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love

Any young, aspiring musicians out there, if music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion. it doesn't take a fragrance, it's not about the tabloids, it's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, practicing your vocals, practicing your instrument, practicing songwriting. hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. i promise you, if you go out there and sing and you put your heart and soul into it and you follow your dream, one day you're going to be sitting next to ellen degeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the super bowl.

When i said that i am the buddha, the christ, the lord maitreya, and more, it was not a question of superiority or inferiority. i added that phrase 'and more' very carefully, because i knew that people had a very limited understanding of the buddha and the christ, and hence if i said: 'i am the christ, the buddha', they would limit that reality to their own conceptions of the buddha or the christ, and life has no limit.

That catharsis is really the core of the incredibly personal comedy of louis c.k. or marc maron or whatever. and look - i find it fascinating that i'm sitting here talking about some of these things, and not to low tones, and my kids are in the other room. i have to trust that if they hear what i'm saying and they have questions about it, i'll be able to answer it, and that's fine. but that's part of the scariness of it - the reality of opening up my own life and my own feelings.
